BANK DID NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE BUSINESS RECORDS EXCEPTION TO THE HEARSAY RULE AND THEREFORE DID NOT DEMONSTRATE STANDING TO BRING THE FORECLOSURE ACTION, BANK’S SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTION SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the bank did not demonstrate standing to bring the foreclosure proceeding and therefore the bank’s motion for summary judgment should not have been granted:

​

… [T]he plaintiff failed to meet its prima facie burden of establishing its standing … . In support of its motion, the plaintiff submitted the affidavit of Dara Foye, a document coordinator for Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC … , the loan servicer. Foye averred, based on her review of Bayview’s business records, that the original, endorsed consolidated note was delivered to the plaintiff on January 24, 2007, and that the plaintiff “maintained possession of the original note since that date up until and including the date the action was commenced on May 24, 2010.” However, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate the admissibility of the records relied upon by Foye under the business records exception to the hearsay rule (see CPLR 4518[a]), since Foye did not attest that she was personally familiar with the record-keeping practices and procedures of the plaintiff … . The plaintiff also failed to establish its standing based on the purported assignment of the note and mortgage to it by MERS [Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc.], as it failed to submit any evidence establishing delivery or assignment of the note to MERS prior to its execution of the assignment to the plaintiff … . Bank of N.Y. Mellon v Alli, 2017 NY Slip Op 08501, Second Dept 12-6-17
